This creates a global swiggy command. Verify with: which swiggy

CRITICAL: Safety Rules

⚠️ NEVER Auto-Order

ALWAYS get explicit confirmation before placing orders.

•
Show cart preview first:
- •All items with quantities and prices
- •Total amount
- •Delivery address
- •Estimated delivery time (food/groceries)

•

Ask for confirmation:

code

Ready to order:
- 2x Chicken Biryani (₹500)
- 1x Raita (₹60)
Total: ₹560 + delivery
Deliver to: Home (HSR Layout)
ETA: 30-40 mins

Confirm order? (yes/no)

•
Only after user says YES:
- •Run the order command with --confirm flag
- •Log to memory/swiggy-orders.json

COD Warning

Swiggy MCP currently supports Cash on Delivery only. Orders cannot be cancelled once placed. Always double-check before confirming.

Address Handling

•User may say "home", "office", etc. - map to actual addresses from USER.md or ask
•Always confirm delivery location in preview
•For Dineout, location is used for search only (not delivery)

Error Handling

•No results: Suggest broader search or different location
•Out of stock: Show alternatives
•No slots available: Suggest different times/dates
•Authentication required: User needs to authenticate via OAuth (handled by MCP)

Tips

•For team orders: build cart iteratively, ask for preferences
•For budget shopping: filter results by price, show running total
•For recipe-to-cart: search each ingredient, add progressively
•For late night: mention delivery time in search criteria

Order Logging

After successful order, append to memory/swiggy-orders.json:

json

{
  "timestamp": "2026-01-28T21:16:00+05:30",
  "type": "food",
  "items": [...],
  "total": "₹560",
  "address": "HSR Layout",
  "orderId": "..."
}

Authentication

Swiggy MCP uses OAuth. First use will trigger auth flow. The swiggy CLI handles this via mcporter.

Dependencies

•Requires mcporter skill (uses it under the hood)
•Node.js runtime for the CLI wrapper

Known Limitations

•COD only (no online payment yet)
•Orders cannot be cancelled
•Dineout: free bookings only
•Don't open Swiggy app while using MCP (session conflicts)

Remember: Confirmation BEFORE ordering. Every. Single. Time. 🐾
